Meta’s Obsession With AI Will Make Smart Glasses Finally Click

Meta made some pretty major moves in AI this week, and some of them were supremely expensive. According to Bloomberg, Meta spent a whopping $200 million trying to poach just one person from Apple (Ruoming Pang, the former lead in charge of developing the large language models behind Apple Intelligence), and that’s just one person it scooped up in its flurry of AI talent acquisitions—there are several others from OpenAI that also jumped ship just this week. It’s to be expected in one way. AI is

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified

The United States Department of Justice this week released nearly 11 hours of what it described as “full raw” surveillance footage from a camera positioned nearby Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The release was intended to address conspiracy theories about Epstein’s apparent suicide in federal custody. But instead of putting those suspicions to rest, it may fuel them further. Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics e

CISA confirms hackers are actively exploiting critical ‘Citrix Bleed 2’ bug

U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA says hackers are actively exploiting a critical-rated security flaw in a widely used Citrix product, and has given other federal government departments just one day to patch their systems. Security researchers have dubbed the bug “Citrix Bleed 2” for its similarity to a 2023 security flaw in Citrix NetScaler, a networking product that large companies and governments rely on for allowing their staff to remotely access apps and other resources on their internal netw

Why Buy Flagship Phones if 'Budget' Phones Are Just as Good Now?

The concept of a budget-friendly phone lost its meaning this week when Samsung announced its new Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE costs an eye-watering $900. It's similar in looks and ability to its premium-model sister phone, and it even has the same cameras. Earlier this year, Apple released its more budget-friendly iPhone 16E, which also got jeers for an higher-than-expected price of $600. It carries the same processor as the main iPhone 16, but lacks one rear camera. The cost of phones is expected to co

Rocket Report: SpaceX to make its own propellant; China’s largest launch pad

Welcome to Edition 8.02 of the Rocket Report! It's worth taking a moment to recognize an important anniversary in the history of human spaceflight next week. Fifty years ago, on July 15, 1975, NASA launched a three-man crew on an Apollo spacecraft from Florida and two Russian cosmonauts took off from Kazakhstan, on course to link up in low-Earth orbit two days later. This was the first joint US-Russian human spaceflight mission, laying the foundation for a strained but enduring partnership on th

The first babies have been born following “simplified” IVF in a mobile lab

While IVF is increasingly commonplace in wealthy countries—around 12% of all births in Spain result from such procedures—it remains expensive and isn’t always covered by insurance or national health providers. And it’s even less accessible in low-income countries—especially for people who live in rural areas. People often assume that countries with high birth rates don’t need access to fertility treatments, says Gerhard Boshoff, an embryologist at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Sub
